I have had my 3 XP's for about 3 years each, and my brother had his vista for about 5 days, and his froze about 20 times, and my XP's have probably froze about 3 or 4 times each. i dont have any problem with freezing.
do you forget that Windows XP has like 1,000 patches already for it after service pack 2's release? it's no wonder it is more stable then vista currently is which hasen't even had 1 service pack released for it yet.

If that doesn't work you could try right clicking and telling it to run under XP SP1 or 2, though I've never had to do this.
I tried compatability running it, and I tried just running it under Vista... it won't work. Check AGNs threads, it's the same over there for a lot of people. They all post saying "I can't run 2.10 on Vista!" and nobody ever knows what to tell them.
Mine came designed for Vista too.

Not to go off topic, but I think the problem there is since people are more worried about 2.5, they tend to forget about 2.10. However, if you feel the need, you could talk to Dark Nation about it. Or you could try 2.10.2
Vista? I always tell people that ask about it. Just get out a piece of paper, stick it under your computer, then walk away. That's the best use you'll get out of it.
That's the way I feel right now about it. It may get better as time goes on. XP had similar issues when it first hit. So...

You can also use it as a $1700 doorstop!
But seriously. I despise Vista, I don't think anyone really should like it, but if you do, whatever. It's your problem, in my opinion.

I'm telling you it works for me with no problems, and it took no extra precautions to run it. P:

And in my opinion it's my solution.

(I garuntee I'll get warned by staff for that line. >.>)
Things are heating up, so I won't encourage them. But all I will say is Vista does have a few quirks (maybe more than I've seen in the past), but it also has its advantages. You can't win, you know?

Everyone has their opinions in this matter. The only right thing to do to get your opinion across is not to turn this into an argument. Otherwise, it will most certainly turn into a flame war.
Consider that this thread's warning of closure.

You must be blessed. Some computer god is watching over you.
But seriously, I don't see why everybody hates Vista. It might not be that big of an upgrade to XP, but it's still a good operating system.

I wouldn't have given it a chance. I've become a Linux user and my laptop works better than it would have with Vista. Sure, Linux has a few hiccups, but its natural when no one supports it.
If Linux is so good, why is it I've never heard of it before except on this forum and AGN?
